WGME interviews Smith on dredging in Portland Harbor
Sean Smith, director of the University of Maine’s Darling Marine Center (DMC), spoke with WGME (Channel 13 in Portland) on a $26 million dredging project in Portland Harbor. “Once you start to move material around, when you’re dredging and even moving the boats around to get in place to do that, you stir up these materials and allow for possibly water quality contamination,” said Smith, also an associate professor of civil and environmental engineering.
